Demographic trends are reshaping retirement systems across the globe. Longer life expectancy, ageing populations, and increasing pressure on public pension models are changing the way individuals, financial institutions and pension providers approach long-term savings and investment.
At the same time, retirement remains one of the main drivers of investment decisions worldwide. According to Amundi research, globally investors expect 43% of their retirement income to come from their own savings and investments (source: Amundi, Decoding Digital 2026). Yet many investors still face challenges when it comes to building sufficient long-term savings and navigating increasingly complex market environments.
These evolving needs are reinforcing the importance of long-term investment solutions and retirement expertise across the entire investment ecosystem. Collaboration across institutions, advisors and investors will remain key to building resilient long-term savings models adapted to tomorrow’s financial realities.
For pension funds and institutional investors, retirement planning increasingly involves addressing long-term liabilities while supporting sustainable growth and capital allocation in a changing economic environment. In parallel, distributors and financial advisors play an essential role in helping investors understand retirement needs, manage risk and build diversified long-term investment strategies.
At Amundi, we support retirement stakeholders through a broad range of investment capabilities and retirement-focused solutions designed to respond to these evolving challenges.
Our approach combines long-term investment expertise, diversified allocation capabilities and retirement planning solutions to help our clients prepare for the future with greater confidence.
